start of autumn
the game plan already
in bits and pieces
lingering summer
the gaping holes
in our defence
first goal in an hour
how much my life
has changed
nothing left of the light…
one by one
magpies fall silent
final quarter
the sound of the ball
slipping through our fingers
some life remains…
the ruckman
slips and falls
last goal
penetrates
the silence

A desolate Haiku, Bob. Pies will live to fight another day.
Stanza 4 Bob – poetic genius. Stands alone, in fact stand alone it might be the best match review of the year. I vote
nothing left of the light…
